"If you put your ear up to a donkey, you can hear a horse."

So thinks David McSavage.

I have seen this guy doing his busking-comedy on Grafton St for years. He sails close to the wind and is bleedin' hilarious.

His trademark is slagging passers by - a routine that has led to him being beaten up several times. But he bounces back.

In his new series "The Savage Eye", he repackages his abilities to examine Ireland and its people for TV - and it works.

Watch it on the RTE Player.
